Fasika ethiopian restaurant, Lenexa

Seven days a week, Fasika Ethiopian Restaurant's chefs whip up authentic Ethiopian food that satisfies a wide array of palates.

• Vegetarians have plenty to choose from, including gomen wat, collard greens cooked with ginger and garlic, and sambusa, a savory pastry stuffed with a blend of lentils, onions and jalapeño peppers.
• Spicy-food-lovers rejoice with yebeg key wot, composed of bites of lamb sautéed with onions and green peppers in a hot ginger sauce, and misir key wot, split lentils simmered in berbere sauce.
• Milder palates won't go hungry, though, as the menu features less fiery options including yeqwanta firfir, a combo of dried beef and injera in red sauces, and minchetabish, a mild beef stew.
